"Replace bad habits with good habits." ~ Charles Fuchs.
HEY STACKERS!
The past few weeks, I decided that I wanted to do something to change one of my "bad" habits that I had for many years... to quit smoking. π
It's one of my biggest "Vices" that I have in my life right now. π³
So what they hell is a Vice? It's a practice, behavior, or habit generally considered immoral, sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, or degrading in the associated society.
In other words, it's a "bad habit" or "addiction". ππΌ
Before you start judging anyone, we all as individuals have certain vices that we don't like and do everyday.Β
It can be anything, whether it's eating to much food, watching tv, gambling, sex, drugs, alcohol, internet (social media), shopping (consumerism), video games etc... etc...
The funny thing is that when growing up, I hated people who smoked and use to complain about it to my friends who did to "put it out".Β
However, in my mid 20's... I started to hangout with lots entrepreneurs who did smoke and it was considered a "social thing" to talk business and you know what happened next. I eventually picked up the habit lol
Well today, I'm going to stop smoking (somewhat). I don't believe in the idea of stopping "cold turkey" because that stuff tends to lead people right back and I'm going to do it gradually.Β
So instead of smoking my typical "Organic American Spirit Cigarettes" that I smoked for years, I'm going to replace it with Juul. It's just a vaporizer that doesn't have smoke and replaces it with vapor.Β
Here are some pics:
Don't get me wrong, replacing a bad habit with a lesser bad habit won't solve the problem but it's a better alternative to help me stop completely months down the road.Β
I may even toss this Juul out in a few days as I've been researching "CBD oil vaporizers" and it has 100% health benefits with no side effect. Stay tuned for my review on it next week.
So there you have it, just putting it out there. Now it's my responsibility to follow through on this... please don't comment "good luck" or anything like that.Β
I rather people say "About fucking time, "smoking"... that shit is nasty". π€£
Until Next Time, Keep on STACKIN! π

But it is your responsibility to quit once and for all.

this is your reminder going forward.
Yup, Iβm done π
Intermediate paths are very helpful because moving to extreme conditions may be very harmful and hazardous.
I need to get one of those! I really need to quit cigarettes!
Smoking is bad and dangerous to the health, and as the says goes smokers are liable to die young . Glad that you quit smoking that is a positive action you take, in other to better your health @stackin
Yeah, it's about that time to get rid of this bad habit. It's a waste of time and money π
Congrats man. That's one tough habit to kick...I did it myself with Nicorette and a whole lot of willpower LOL
Yeah, been smokin for like 15 years. I just decided it's time lol
Good for you!!! My mom passed from lung failure when I was three. Super proud of you for taking the steps to better yourself!! Lots of love Stackin!!
Taking it day by day... yeah, no more wasting my time with it :)
Sounds like a plan... after all you want to be around long enough to enjoy the life of a crypto billionaire!
I live in the fast lane haha
Today is day 24 for me with no smokes. The vape makes a lot easier for sure. I had been smoking for about 23 years and tried to quit numerous times. But I think this time it is going to take.
You can do it!!!
"About fucking time, "smoking"... that shit is nasty".
π.
Key: one day at a time. Best wishes to you always.
Oi @stackin For me cold turkey was the best option. I quit like that 9 years ago :) It's hard to believe some vaporizer stuff has 'health benefits' or whatever you are talking hahaha.
Just show some balls and go cold Turkey! :-) It's all in your head anyways!! Ai! Challenge?? :-) :-* Mwah!
Is juul same as e-cigarettes or vape? Have you tried using vape instead? Withdrawal from a smoking not easy you should atleast replace it with candy or something. But of course this is for your own good @stackin! πβ€
Yeah, itβs like a ecig... but I donβt to stay on it for long π
If it's the best alternative to help you quit smoking why not π
I did it with vape ... it works !
You can replace cigarettes with something else like candy or chocolate. It worked for many people. They stopped smoking and started eating more.
But I am really curious to see your updates in the next weeks and what is the result of your big challenge :)
As much as I understand the hanging out to get deals, a person's health is more important. I've lost out of much intel @ work from not hanging out the smoking shelter but I'm feeling good. Also, more $ for investments & crypto.
Good Choice Charles @stackin
LOL smoking is nasty, glad I can't smell you from here π
Yeah, cold turkey never works. Warm turkey is better.
time to stack some good habits along the way :D
Great! Thanks for this information..
